Her shoulder length black hair was pulled back in a ponytail and she had a big smile on her face. “What are you doing?” she asked. “I’m going to teach you Li He Quan,” she said. “Chang going from bed to bed is useless” maylin he said as he turned around and closed his eyes. “I have a secret that will help you master it,” said Chang. Maylin opened her eyes and sat on her bed. “In fact?” she asked excitedly. “Get dressed and I’ll show you,” she said. “Okay, wait for me outside,” she said.
Maylin came out of her room dressed in her gi. “Chang grabbed her hand, ‘Be very quiet,’ she said as he led her across the concrete patio. Maylin began to blush and her heart began to beat faster. She tiptoed behind Chang until they reached a building with tall doors on the other side. yard side. “What’s here?” she asked. “Your destiny,” he replied as she opened the tall gates with her of sifu wrench.
Maylin followed Chang into the dark building. “Wait here,” Chang said as he lit a candle. Maylin looked around the room and it was empty except for this statue that resembled her. Sifu holding a jade stone. “Do you see that stone?” she asked. “Yes,” she replied confused. “Legend has it that a woman will come for him and she will be the savior of China,” Chang explained. “What does that have to do with me or Liu He Quan?” she asked her frustrated. “Legend says that when that woman touches him, she will be given all the knowledge to complete her journey,” she said. “I’m not her,” she said. “How do you know it’s not her?” Chang asked. “I know, I can’t believe you woke me up for this!” she screamed. “She just touch it,” she said as she picked up the stone and threw it at him. Maylin watched as the rock flew across the room out of her reach and she dove to catch it. “Chang, you could have broken it,” she whispered. “Look, it’s okay,” she said annoyed as she walked over to place the stone in her place.
“Wait a minute, the stone is glowing,” said Chang. Maylin stared at her hands in shock as the stone began to glow. “It’s getting hot!” she screamed. Startled, she quickly replaced the stone on the statue and backed away. She and Chang ran nonstop back to her room.

Chang turned and walked away heartbroken. Chang liked her. maylin and he just wanted to help her but he had made things worse. Maylin lay on her bed and cried herself to sleep.
The sun came out and last night felt like a dream. The sound of a rooster crowing woke up maylin up. He looked at his hands and they weren’t burned. It must have been a dream, she thought. Maylin started to smile as she got out of bed and followed the rest of her roommates to breakfast. As everyone rushed into the dining room, she spotted Chang in the crowd. “Change!” she yelled as she ran towards him. “Aren’t you mad anymore?” she asked. “About?” she asked confused. “About last night, that you burned your hands?” he asked. “Did that really happen?” she asked. “I thought I was dreaming,” she said as she held her hands up. “The burns are gone,” Chang said in amazement.
Maylin and Chang ate breakfast as fast as they could. They were anxious to get to the patio and see if the stone had worked.

Maylin had become extremely faster and more precise. Every time maylin hits Chang, feels him fly backwards 5 feet. Chang realized that he wasn’t even using his full strength. As they continued to practice, they began to draw a crowd. They all looked on in amazement, but Dong was not impressed. Dong was a muscular, bald, bad boy and he loved to torment maylin.
“That’s nothing, you’re fighting a loser, fight me,” Dong said. “I’ll even let you choose the style,” Dong said teasing her. “Don’t listen to him,” Chang said. Okay, I’ll fight him.” maylin the confidant said. Chang smiled and stepped aside. “Liu He Quan Style” maylin said. Dong laughed, “You don’t know that style.” maylin She got into position and waited for Dong to hit her. Dong kicked and missed like maylin crouched down maylin he quickly responded with a fist to the face and knocked him out.
Dong’s body hit the ground like a brick just in time for his sifu to see. He was a short old man with long black hair and a face that showed very little emotion. “Well done,” he said with a hint of a smile.
